2007 - 100 Books (averaging 408.57 pages)   2008 - 80 Books (averaging 385.50 pages) 2009 - 67 Books (averaging 338.03 pages) 2010 - 129 Books (averaging 378.75 pages) 2011 - 133 Books (averaging 375.98 pages)

2012 - 144 Books (averaging 398.92 pages) 2013 - 130 Books (averaging 397.36 pages) 2014 - 130 Books (averaging 391.13 pages) 2015 - 122 Books (averaging 364.18 pages)

Total books and average pages dropped a little bit in 2015, working out to about 121 pages per day, though individual books varied greatly. There were a few graphic novels or poetry collections under 100 pages in there, and nothing even close to the four-digit page range this time. In other stats: 6/122 were nonfiction, which is consistent with past years; 15 were re-reads, about half the usual; and 7 were graphic novels.

I did a little more analysis this time as well, and discovered that 88/122 were part of a series or creative universe of some kind - I obviously have a tendency to find a new series, author, or world I like and then collect like a magpie. *grin* And in terms of genre, 80 of the novels fell under the SFF umbrella (scifi, epic fantasy, urban fantasy, steampunk, etc.); 18 I would categorize as mysteries or thrillers; 7 were regency romance; and 12 were other historically-set novels (O'Brian, L'Amour, et cetera). I do have definite tastes!

So here we go, embarking on Year Ten of book tracking!

Book stats through #100 include: 16 rereads; 3 non-fiction; 6 graphic novels.
